Tips for Homebuyers

Determine Your Budget

Before you start looking for your dream home, determine your budget – and stick with it. Avoid getting emotionally attached to a beautiful home that may be out of your price range. Additionally, leave room in your budget for HOA fees, taxes, closing costs, your downpayment, and insurance. Click here to use our mortgage calculator!

Research Neighborhoods

Find the right neighborhood that fits your lifestyle. Whether you are looking for an apartment in the city or a single-family home in the suburbs, identify the neighborhood or areas that interest you. Research online and get a good understanding of the schools in the area, neighborhood safety, and types of home styles you’re looking for.

Find Homes for Sale

Most homebuyers buy homes they have first seen online. To find your dream home quicker, connect with a Mark Spain Real Estate buyer agent to help you find your dream home. In addition, make a list of what you’re looking for in a home, such as the number of bedrooms, an open floor plan, or a finished basement. Our Mark Spain Real Estate agents know the market well and provide valuable market expertise to help you find the perfect home.

Attend Showings

Once you’ve narrowed down your list of prospective homes, attend open houses or showings so you can get a good feel of the home and find the home you love. Showings and open houses are a great way to learn even more about the home that isn’t portrayed online. It allows you to get a clear understanding of the neighborhood as well.

Prepare for Closing

The closing process is an exciting time and officially names you as the legal owner of your new home! Prepare for closing by knowing what to expect in the closing process. Your real estate agent will coordinate the remaining steps and keep you informed of any roadblocks along the way. Be sure to read every closing document carefully and double-check with your real estate agent regarding anything you don’t understand before signing.
